Raw and real take on heartbreak and relationships. Each poem made my heart ache. Like reliving an old memory that isn't even yours, but you understand the emotion of it. Victoria Ellis has a way with words.

This collection made me cry. It made me feel so many emotions that I’ve been fighting so long. It felt like Tori reached into my chest and splayed my feelings right onto paper. I am in awe of the raw talent displayed in this collection, the way she has with words amazes me. One of my favorite lines was , “Why is it my job to cast away your thorns?” I would highly, highly recommend this poetry collection!

I am rarely left speechless, but All My Ghosts Have Heartbeats will do just that. It will reach into all your emotions. Ones hidden, ones not felt in awhile, ones felt all too often, but they are all felt in this beautiful masterpiece.
Victoria gives us all the truths we need to heal and forgive and move on and be in the moments of life and say “We are okay, I am okay.” It’s a pure gift she has give us with these words.

It made me feel so much more.
Its raw and riveting. It made me feel so much. I don't know that I've ever felt so broken open but relatable to poetry. I highlighted so many poignant lines. I wouldn't suggest reading it when around others simply because you will find yourself gasping or crying. But I do completely and irrevocably suggest getting this. One of the best I've ever read and will stick with me a while.

Late last night I got an email with this lovely collection attached. I started reading and from page 1 I was hooked. This collection was incredibly relatable for me, Ellis has a way with words and in this collection she made me feel that for once I wasn’t alone. Some of my favorites in this collection were ‘Kindred Spirits’, ‘Yes, I Still Write Poems About You’, ‘It’s True’, and ‘I Can’t Understand’. Ellis was refreshingly honest about mental illness, relationships and missing someone. Her poetry was raw in an unfiltered way that so few poets can accomplish successfully. I found myself having a variety of emotions throughout this collection; she had me laughing then crying. Several lines stood out to me; ‘His heartbeat haunts me more wildly than any obituary ever could’, ‘Yes, I still write poems about you, and I hope my memory haunts you even half as much as yours haunts me’ and ‘Life is just a series of small moments we don’t remember and big ones that scar us too deeply to forget’. Her poetry related to several of my real life experiences as well as the struggles I’ve faced with my own mental illnesses. It was beautiful the way this collection came together. This is hands down one of my favorite poetry collections of the year.
